Kohli made a century in the second innings of the Perth Test; however, aside from that, his performance has been quite disappointing. He was dismissed multiple times on deliveries heading outside the off-stump. During the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy featuring India and Australia, Kohli made 5, 100*, 7, 11, and 3 runs. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood effectively highlighted Kohli’s vulnerabilities and prevented him from getting comfortable at the crease.
Sharma was absent from the first Test
Rohit Sharma, however, confirmed his participation in the Boxing Day Test but did not disclose the batting position he will occupy. Rohit Sharma was absent from the first Test. Upon joining the team, Rohit began playing in the middle order, yet his performance has similarly been lacking.
He mentioned, “There’s no reason to be concerned about that. Determining who bats in which position is something we must discover for ourselves. It’s not a topic I will discuss at every press conference. We will choose whatever appears to be the most beneficial for our team and will enhance the likelihood of success.”
